ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTENDED USE

WARNING!

Always take care when removing the packaging, to prevent damage to you or to the lawn

mower.

This item requires a two-person lift to remove it from the packaging. Make sure that you

have sufficient space to put the lawn mower down. Keep your feet apart so that you have a

stable position; bend at the knees and keep your back straight.

Always recycle the packaging in accordance with local recycling schemes.

Assembling the handle

1. Attach the lower handles (15) onto the lower handle arc brackets with head bolts and lower handle

fixing knobs (16).

NOTE: Make sure the rope guide is on the right handle when you stand behind the mower.

Fix the upper handle to the lower handle (15) with round head bolt and upper handle quick release

knobs (3).

Note: round head bolt is already assembled on the quick release knob.

Hook the cord

Pull the on/off lever and gently pull the rope and hook it around the rope guide.

Grass bag assembly

IMPORTANT!

Make sure the grass collection bag is in place before starting the engine.

1. Insert the top handle into the hard shell of the grass collection bag until the handle clicks into

place. Put the plastic straps over the tubular frame.

2. If using the collection function, raise the safety flap, remove the mulching plug, and hook the

collection bag onto the mower. Ensure the side discharge chute is not fitted when collecting the grass

in the bag. Release the safety flap.

Attach the cable clips

Ensure that the cable clips supplied are used to fix the cable to the handle.

STOP!

Do not start the engine before putting 400ml of SAE 30 oil into

the engine.

Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the engine

and invalidate your warranty.

Preparing to Operate The Lawn Mower

Filling with engine oil

IMPORTANT!

The following procedures and adjustments must be performed before the engine is started.

Do not attempt to make any of these adjustments while the engine is running.

This engine is shipped without oil or petrol; any oil residue is from testing prior to shipping.

The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine.

Running the engine with a low oil level will cause irreparable engine damage.

Always use high-quality detergent oil classified SAE 30 oil (or equivalent, e.g. 5W 30, often termed as

4-stroke lawn mower oil). Only use additives recommended by the engine manufacturer. To prolong

the life of your engine, it is important that the oil is changed after the first 5 hours of use.

Using non-detergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life, and using 2-stroke oil will damage the

engine.

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the mower on a flat surface.

1. Remove the oil filler dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.

2. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck, and screw it in.

3. Then remove the dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level must be between the min. and max.

marks on the dipstick. If near the lower level, fill to the upper level with the recommended oil (SAE 30

or equivalent). Do not overfill. Wipe away any spilt oil.

4. Before using for the first time, add 0.4 litres of oil (SAE 30).

Filling with engine fuel

WARNING!

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or

sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where petrol is stored. Avoid repeated or

prolonged contact with skin or inhalation of vapour.

CAUTION!

Petrol is highly flammable and extreme caution must be taken when handling or working

with it. Keep out of the reach of children.

1. Clean the area around the petrol filler cap before removing the cap. Check the fuel level.

2. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low.

3. Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol and purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30

days.

4. Fuel which is older than 30 days will become stale resulting in engine failure

5. Never mix oil with petrol.

6. To allow for expansion, refuel carefully and avoid overfilling or spillage. There should be no fuel in

the filler neck.

7. Clean up any overflow or splashes of petrol before starting the engine.

8. Tighten the filler cap after filling, finger tight only.

Note: The 53cm SP lawn mower has a maximum fuel capacity of 910ml.

Operation

Setting the cutting height

WARNING!

The blade can cause serious injury. Before adjusting the mower height, stop the engine and

wait for the mower blade to come to a complete stop.

1. Pull the lever towards the wheel, then move it forward or backward to adjust the cutting height.

2. Move it to any one of the 7 positions for the desired cutting height.

3. Return the lever into the securing plate.

Position Approx. cutting height (mm)

1 25mm

2 30mm

3 36mm

4 42mm

5 53mm

6 64mm

7 75mm

Note: Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut of the season or in drought conditions. Only

about one third of the grass height should be cut at this time.

Starting the engine

WARNING!

Do not operate the machine in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas, as the exhaust gas

contains toxic substances. Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from all the moving

parts of the machine. The exhaust and other parts of the machine will become hot during

use. Make sure that the blade is securely fastened before starting the engine.

Step 1 - Starting procedure: quick guide

step 1 step 2 step 3

To start the engine, make sure that the spark plug cap is located on the plug and the machine is filled

with sufficient oil and petrol.

Step 2 - Start/stop bar activation

Pull the start/stop bar towards you.

Engine start

Engine stop

Step 3 - Pull the cord handle

With the right hand, slowly but firmly pull the starter handle and rope from the pull cord guide until

you feel resistance, then pull briskly. If the engine fails to start after three pulls, repeat the start

process. When the engine starts, gently return the starter rope to the pull cord guide.

To stop, release the stop/start bar

Failure to start

If the engine won’t start after you have operated the starter several times, the engine may be flooded

with excess fuel. Use the following procedure to clean and start a flooded engine:

A. Release the stop/start bar.

B. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.

Install the spark plug carefully by hand and to avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated, tighten

it 1/8 to 1/4 turns with the socket spanner to compress the washer.

C. Pull the stop/start bar towards the upper handle.

D. Operate the starter, as described in steps 2-3.

Mowing with the grass collection bag

WARNING!

Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawn mower.

Start the engine and allow it to run. See ‘Step 2 - Starting the engine’.

Keep a firm grip on the upper handle and stop/start bar and pull the self propelled lever towards you

to let mower forward.

Walk along with it, never run with the mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.

Maintain a stable footing.

Mow across slopes, never up and down. Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a

slope. Do not use the mower on a steep slope of more than 15°.

Note: The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and the

grass collection system.

Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. Never use the lowest cutting height for

the first cut of the season or in drought conditions. Only about one third of the grass height should be

cut at this time.

If the lawn mower will not collect the cuttings efficiently, the grass discharge chute may be blocked,

the grass bag may be full, or the underside of the mower deck may be clogged.

Emptying the grass collection bag

Raise the discharge flap with one hand and remove the grass bag using its handle with your other

hand. To maintain safety, the discharge flap will close back to cover the rear discharge chute when

you release the flap.

Empty the grass debris in to the grass collection bag and refit the bag. If any grass residues are

caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush.

Mowing with the mulcher

When mulching, remove the collection grass bag and put the plastic mulching plug into the rear

discharge chute. Then release the flap ensuring it closes fully covering the mulching plug.

Note: To ensure that the cut grass can be mulched efficiently, do not cut high or wet grass.

Mowing with the side discharge

When using the side discharge to throw grass, you first need to remove the grass collection bag and

insert the mulching plug. Follow the steps below to assemble the side discharge chute:

1. Push the lock button with one hand;

2. Raise the side discharge cover with the other hand;

3. Hold the side discharge cover open, hook the side discharge chute onto the mower then release

the discharge cover back.
